Congrats on the Rineharts,

Oh Yeah, the bike too. Sounds like you are off to a great start. If you can't get it in until July I'd change my own oil and have them do the rest. See if they will give you the filter and oil since they don't have time to get to it. Don't worry, these bad boys rarely break down anyway.

OK, you've taken care of the seat and pipes. What's next?

Congrats. I have a 05 king. Changed out the seat to a mustang 2 up. As for the windshield, ride it for a while, I love mine & would not change a thing.

I'm 6'3" and the top of the windshield lines up directly with my line of sight and am thinking of having the top 2" cut off as well. Wouldn't wish this on anyone but I'm kinda glad to hear I'm not the only one having this problem. Has anyone tried to short deflector windshield thats shown in the accessory catalog?

I've got the lower windshield and really like it. I get more wind with it, but it doesn't bother me.

I didn't like the RK windshield at first (my last bike was an Electra Glide Classic and the windshield was lower).
I've noticed that when my wife is on the back I look through the windshield but when I'm alone I look over it ????
Now that I'm used to it I love it. If you ride 2 up, you might want to experiment a little before changing anything.

Now, if I did this right, it should actually be a picture of my new ride.
